QUESTION 1
Water at 1.75MPa, contained in a piston-cylinder device has liquid volume being 1/10 of the vapour
volume. Determine the temperature change if 20MJ of heat is added to it. Is the final state has more or
less vapor than the initial state?
Sketch the process on a T-v diagram with respect to saturation lines.
QUESTION 2
Air undergoes a three-process cycle. During the first process, the air undergoes an isobaric expansion
which is then followed by a constant volume process. During the third process, air is returned to original
state isothermally. If the information as given below is known, determine the net heat transfer involved
in the cycle. Sketch the cycle on a P-V diagram.
